BACKED UP BY THESE SUPERB TECHNOLOGIES

HOW WE DO IT

In today’s fast paced environment, listening to customer feedback can make the difference between failure and success. By developing features in time boxed iterations, TangoSource focuses on delivering the most important features to customers right now, making adaptability core to the process, instead of turning changes into a costly mistake. We also leverage iterations to improve team performance over time through velocity tracking and process improvements.

Studies have shown that programmers working in pairs produce more efficient programs, with fewer bugs. Pairs are able to leverage the creativity in the collaborative environment to produce more maintainable, elegant designs. Often in outsourcing, cultural barriers result in developers not asking for help, which pairing helps prevent, through cultural training and a sense of support from TangoSource technical leadership. We also use pair programming for training and knowledge transfer, and we feel that pair programming increases the feeling of project ownership, team cohesion, and developer focus.

Industry data shows that roughly half of software features developed are never used. Scrum helps TangoSource deliver meaningful business value by focusing on important features first. Stuck developers can’t deliver, and in outsourcing this can be the difference between success and failure. Scrum helps expose this issues early so that they can be resolved efficiently. Also, Scrum gives customers the option of daily qualitative insight into how projects are performing. Finally, when requirements change based on new business data, Scrum helps teams change course quickly and cheaply.

Test Driven Development is a proven process for innovative software. By having developers write tests before coding features and testing for bugs each time new code is checked in, TangoSource significantly increases code quality. This in turn decreases project variability, which allows productivity to flourish. Additionally, Test Driven Development encourages developers to think about the user when coding, as opposed to having to keep complex systems in mind. TangoSource leverages Test Driven Development to increase efficiency, code quality, and code maintainability.

We believe in the connecting power of technology bringing people together.
